Usefulness of Non-Invasive Fetal RHD Genotyping towards Immunoprophylaxis Optimization
(Karger, 2018-11)
Introduction: Since anti-D immunoprophylaxis given to D-negative pregnant women is a blood product, blood donations have an impact on the availability of prophylactic doses. The Pan American Health Organization reported, ...
Diagnostic performance of commercial IgM and IgG enzyme-linked immunoassays (ELISAs) for diagnosis of Zika virus infection
(BioMed Central, 2018-07)
Background: Serologic detection of Zika virus (ZIKV) infections is challenging because of antigenic similarities among flaviviruses. Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of commercial ZIKV IgM and IgG ...
Trypanosoma cruzi loop-mediated isothermal amplification (Trypanosoma cruzi loopamp) kit for detection of congenital, acute and chagas disease reactivation
(Public Library of Science, 2020-08)
A Trypanosoma cruzi Loopamp kit was recently developed as a ready-to-use diagnostic method requiring minimal laboratory facilities. We evaluated its diagnostic accuracy for detection of acute Chagas disease (CD) in different ...
Ex vivo characterization of Breg cells in patients with chronic Chagas disease
(Nature, 2021-03-09)
Despite the growing importance of the regulatory function of B cells in many infectious diseases, their immunosuppressive role remains elusive in chronic Chagas disease (CCD). Here, we studied the proportion of different ...
Hypoxically Induced Nitric Oxide: Potential Role as a Vasodilator in Mytilus edulis Gills
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-03)
Intertidal Mytilus edulis experience rapid transgression to hypoxia when they close theirvalves during low tide. This induces a physiological stress response aiming to stabilizetissue perfusion against declining oxygen ...
Sensitivity of Anaplasma marginale genotypes to oxytetracycline assessed by analyzing the msp1α gene in experimentally infected cattle
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-09)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the long-acting oxytetracycline (OTC) treatment on A. marginale genotypes of the isolate S1P, by analyzing the msp1α genotype based on a microsatellite (ms) and tandem ...
First Century of Chagas' Disease: An Overview on Novel Approaches to Nifurtimox and Benznidazole Delivery Systems
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2012-03)
Hundred years after the discovery of Chagas' disease, there is a lack of effective treatment to control this neglected disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The transmission is primarily through vector-borne ...
Bacterial Imprinting of the Neonatal Immune System: Lessons From Maternal Cells?
(American Academy of Pediatrics, 2007-06)
OBJECTIVE. We examined the presence of a natural bacterial inoculum in breast milk and its intracellular transport from the maternal intestine to the breast through the circulation. METHODS. Breast milk and peripheral blood ...
Sensitivity to ALA-PDT of cell lines with different nitric oxide production and resistance to NO cytotoxicity
(Elsevier Science SA, 2005-09)
In this work, we studied the in vitro interactions between aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) and nitric oxide (NO), as well as the interactions between ALA, porphyrins and some NO donors and ...
In vitro alteration on erythrocytes mechanical properties by propofol, remifentanil and vecuronium
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2021-05)
Several studies report flow disturbance and microcirculation disorders upon anesthesia treatment. These alterations are often related to blood rheology changes. In this work, it was attempted to make a detailed description ...
